Thanks for the tip, John and Robert. However, I'm not sure that reverse capability is there in 3.0M5. If I select Migrate DB, I only get operations in the direction of the database to select. For example, I altered a table in the map and also added a table on the database; the two operations that Migrate gave me to select were to add the map change to the database and the drop the table I just created. There were no operations that provided the DB to map direction.
Maybe this functionality is not there in M5? If there was an option to migrate either way, I'm not sure it would help, since I'd want to merge changes. I'd want to keep any changes to ObjEntities that I make in Modeler and merge in any database changes (such as new tables, new columns, altered column definitions, deleted columns) to the map. Unfortunately, these kinds of operations are not uncommon here and so this would likely be a major issue for us. However, being a newbie at Cayenne, I may not fully understand the capabilities.

This will diff the db against your current current map. You can then, per change, decide if you want to take the DB version, the Cayenne version or ignore. Its the best feature ever, I use it daily.
